BluestoneJones Original Electronica - Matt Jones Musician from Montana
Author: Tom Parishtom.parish@gmail.com (Tom Parish)
Fri, Dec 29, 2006
Do not attempt to adjust your mp3 player. For the next 45 minutes the control of your mp3 player is in the creative hands of Matt Jones - electronic music artist whom I've come to know over the last couple of months. Music on this Podcast is from his album Sunset Birth and from his podcasts at www.bluestonejones.org.
Hi, this is Tom Parish in the Talking Portraits studio in Austin, Texas. I'm going to spare you the long intro and just let you get into a bit of Matt's music before we roll into the interview. My idea is to have you learn about Matt the musician and get an inside look at how he creates electronic music. eknow more about him as a person and his experiences in writing music during the birth of his first child, how that impacted his career, and his life as a creative young man in Montana. So ... here we go. Put your headphones on now ...

Podcasting Metrics - Can You Trust Them? A Conversation about Openmetrics.org
Author: Tom Parishtom.parish@gmail.com (Tom Parish)
Wed, Dec 27, 2006
We're going to have a conversation with Matt Snodgrass, Dave Kawalec and Chris MacDonald about a new initiative called OpenMetrics.org. Matt and Dave are from Porter Novelli and host the "The Dave and Matt Show." Chris is from Libsyn and is the co-founder of the Association of Music Podcasters and the owner of Indiefeed Podcasts.
The domain name, openmetrics.org, says what it is: An organization whose purpose is to define standards in an open manner with collective input from numerous groups, mainly podcasters and advertisers.
Here's the deal - whether you're a podcaster, podcast distributor, advertiser, audience-identity advocast, or PR firm, etc., you have an interest in finding a consistent way to create metrics for this new media, podcasting. If we can solve this problem, there will be more trust and more opportunity for advertising dollars. I'm for that.
The problem is - everyone's metrics are different and, well, it's complicated. Traditional web metrics are more about unique visitors or visits per day and, if you're lucky, some way of measuring downloads. Of course, the next problem is "What constitutes a download?" What about RSS feeds that are constantly hitting your website and skewing the numbers way up? But that's just one issue. What about metrics of the kinds of people that listen to your show? What's the reach? What countries? How long do visitors really listen?
You get the idea. Even if you're new to podcasting or if you've been around a while, it's a vexing problem. This is a large set of unresolved issues that make it difficult for podcasters to present solid, consistent numbers, and difficult for advertisers to know how to trust the numbers for shows originated by different podcasters.
This has been an issue I've wrestled with for my own shows and my clients' shows, so during a conversation with Chris MacDonald of Libysn I found out about a small group of people interested in making this problem go away. This group is growing quickly, and you can learn more about it at http://www.openmetrics.org.
What is openmetrics.org, and how can we work together to solve these problems? Let's speak with these guys now - Matt, Dave and Chris.

Deb Radcliff & Rodney Thayer Discuss the Top 10 Security Threats for 2007
Author: Tom Parishtom.parish@gmail.com (Tom Parish)
Tue, Dec 12, 2006
Recently an Internet security newsletter article caught my attention. It's by David Utter, who is a business and technology writer for SecurityProNews. He listed the Top 10 security risks for 2007 that were published by the McAfee.com folks from their Avert Labs data.
I thought I'd ask Deb Radcliff to comment on this because she is an award-winning investigative writer and speaker on information security. She's spent the last 13 years writing about what can go wrong with software and firmware applications. What is it with software and hardware manufacturers on security? Seems they have created a never-ending cycle here. Ever wonder why devices aren't more secure before they are shipped?
Deb recently joined forces with Mark Kadrich and Rodney Thayer to start a closed-loop security process testing company, the SecurityConsortium.net, in San Jose, Calif. They will conduct stress tests on new applications and publish their findings. Rodney heads up testing, where he'll put applications under real-world pressures and report how they act.
Rodney sat on many historic IETF standards working groups, including IPsec, PGP and x.509 digital certificates. He is a member of several security testing and research groups, including Network World's Test Alliance, and the Schmoo Group ( www.schmoo.com).
Deb invited Rodney to this podcast to chime in on how testing of new applications in real network conditions is critical to protecting enterprises proactively, as compared to today's typical reactive measures that rely on knowing or accurately predicting where the vulnerabilities are and what an attacker's going to do.
ok .. so let's get rolling on this list of the Top 10 security threats for 2007

Author: Tom Parishtom.parish@gmail.com (Tom Parish)
Tue, Nov 21, 2006
Say the word technology, and most people think of gizmos and gadgets. But there's another kind of technology - one that involves the inner workings of the heart and soul. Warren Kahn has mastered both. He's a musician with his own California studio full of machines capable of putting together best-selling recordings, and he's a Senior Trainer with the More To Life program, which uses trainings to bring people home to their hearts. Warren and my wife, Sharon, also a Sr. Trainer, were good friends, and he composed an evoking song, Now She's Gone, upon her passing. Soon Warren will release an album of the songs of his heart. Let's listen as he talks about the technology of his studio and the technology of his passion for life. We'll also listen to his new album, "To the Middle of What Matters."

Lynda Weinman - A Woman Who Could Change Your Perspective On Success and Happiness
Author: Tom Parishtom.parish@gmail.com (Tom Parish)
Thu, Nov 16, 2006
Up next, a conversation with Lynda Wienman - CEO of Lynda.com on Talking Portraits.
I had a conversation recently with a friend and mentor Larry Seyer about how to grow a business online in the area of online education. It seemed to me there is huge opportunity globally for businesses that can provide useful education on current topics. Larry had just built www.learngigastudio.com which produces online lessons for GigaStudio in both text and video form. It's a great niche that he knows well, and it fullfills a need in a the electronic music area where samplers and synthesizers are getting more sophistacted to learn.
You're about to hear an interview with a woman who epitomizes the true Internet entrepreneurial spirit. Lynda Wienman - CEO of Lynda.com. She has a solid core of truth about what's important in her life and how she wants to run her business. Authentic is the word that comes to mind - 100% real deal. You'll hear that in her voice.
She's originally a teacher by training, and she brings that skill to her online business. She has learned by trial and error, and gives attention to the details and her presentation of herself and her services so her customers get exactly what they're seeking. She really really really LISTENS to what her customers want, and finds ways to make that happen. She took a HUGE risk at putting her course material at $25 a month - wait until you hear what happened on that!
Think about your life. Aren't you constantly needing to learn new tools and new software? How do you keep your skills honed, competitive, and creative in today's service economy? You can buy expensive books, but hey, we all know how that really works: marginally at best. We could go to classes, but that takes time and a lot of money.
Why not have a private video tutor right in your computer, teaching you exactly what you want to learn, chapter by chapter? That's what Lynda.com training is about.

Interview with Cameron Herold, Chief Operating Officer, 1-800-GOT-JUNK?
Author: Tom Parishtom.parish@gmail.com (Tom Parish)
Mon, Nov 13, 2006
Why am I reposting again from my EnterpriseLeadership.org show? Because this is one fascinating group of people at 1-800-GOT-JUNK?.
How many times have you heard about a great idea for an invention or a business and said, Gee, I wish I'd thought of that? Well, prepare to add another to your list: 1-800-GOT-JUNK?. This brainchild of a high school grad who was more interested in starting a business than going to college was launched with $700, an old pickup truck, and a lot of nerve. Today, it boasts more than 260 franchise locations in 38 states, four Canadian provinces, and parts of Australia and the UK. Interested in finding out more? Listen in on this podcast interview with Cameron Herold, COO and (another) company wunderkind, as he talks about what makes 1-800-GOT-JUNK? so unique (besides the name), from its innovative Web-based JunkNet system to "huddle" meetings to rubber chickens hanging from the ceiling. This podcast is sure to add an interesting new flavor for the word entrepreneur.

Conversations from the Edge with Brian Magierski of Kalivo.com
Author: Tom Parishtom.parish@gmail.com (Tom Parish)
Sun, Nov 5, 2006
This Podcast is with Brian Magierski of Kalivo on new thoughts around customer engagement on the Internet for lead generation and brand development. Could this be Web 2.0 marketing? (Alright, I know this Web 2.0 thing is getting a little worn out, but bear with me here ...)
Have you ever wondered how to get your company's marketing and product management into the conversations going on OUTSIDE the company via blogs and forums throughout the Internet?
Do you find you are overly focused on drive-by traffic or hoping for click-throughs from search engines for capturing leads?
Maybe you are more comfortable with pouring millions into a 90- to 120-day traditional marketing campaign with a highly targeted focus, hoping to flood your specific demographic with enough media angles and different types of media that you burst into a person's attention. It's expensive and wasteful and short-term - a point you worry about nowadays. It's hard to build a brand that way, much less an ecosphere of communities supporting your products and services, feeding you valuable, competitive information.
I've been giving this a lot of thought lately, and I recently connected with a company in Austin that is on to something.
Maybe you have one or more blogs at your site and you're seeing an increase in traffic, but here's the deal - you're still hoping for drive-by, incremental, 'like-minded' people to find your doorstep. Sure, broadcasting email is some help, but given spam filters and the spam-sensitive readers ... you have your doubts.
Have you given some consideration to the fact that there are millions of blogs now? Blogs are no longer new. Blogs and forums are where users, consumers, prospects and experts interact with each other. Ever notice how silent most companies are when things are written about their products and services, rarely offering any rebuttal?
What if you could find 'nests' of on-going conversations about your company and its products, and you could listen and engage in those conversations to learn, and, when appropriate, respond?
This, my friend, is one of the next steps on where all this blogging stuff is going - especially for companies looking to leverage the benefits of social media. Getting out there on the edge of the internet and engaging in conversations to cultivate leads and suss out the ultimate set of features for new products driven from real feedback.
This is the essence of this interview with Brian M. from Kalivo. Think of it as the new way of finding and engaging vocal prospects and customers and pulling them into YOUR ecosystem. Let's speak now with Brian.

Patricia Seybold: Author - "Outside Innovation"
Author: Tom Parishtom.parish@gmail.com (Tom Parish)
Sat, Nov 4, 2006
I'm here with Patricia Seybold to talk about her book, Outside Innovation. Patty wrote this book as a sort of call to arms for CEOs and CXOs about the next wave of innovation that's happening in the marketplace, an innovation that maybe happening with -- or without -- their input!
Let me give you a hint here: We're talking about innovations that can come directly from your consumers, your prosumers and dedicated supporters for your products and services. Innovation that will give you a highly competitive edge, bringing you what she refers to as "organic growth."
Join the parade, folks, before it passes you by, and let Patricia Seybold lend her years of experience and knowledge to help you! Let's move now to our conversation with the author of Outside Innovation.
NOTE: This podcast is reused, with permission from BMC Software, from the www.EnterpriseLeadership.org show that I host each week. As I mention in the podcast introduction, I'm going to be interviewing more people that have insightful contributions emerging from the application of social media-based systems, environments and ecosystems onto the more traditional business-oriented websites.

Jensen Walker: Photographer with a Heart and Warrior Spirit of Discovery
Author: Tom Parishtom.parish@gmail.com (Tom Parish)
Sat, Sep 16, 2006
This is episode 47. I'm talking with Jensen Walker about life as a freelance photographer-- his career and artistic vision --the calling he has to help change the world and how he gets close to the story he wants to tell.
Airplane ticket. Check.
Rental car at the airport. Check.
Quad-band cellphone. Check.
Level 4 Kevlar personal armor. Check.
This isn't my business trip packing list, but it was for photographer Jensen Walker's last out-of-town trip to the Middle East to cover what CNN said was the less-photographed side of the Israeli-Lebanon war. That's what Jensen is about -- telling stories with images, each one opening a window to history and getting the viewer close to the story. He's a young guy, 29, married, fit, filled with a sense of adventure and guided by a personal vision to tell stories as only photographs can: capturing a moment in time for all time. He bears witness so we can see ourselves reflected in the humanity of others.
Jensen Walker's photography is creatively diverse, and his work crosses a number of photo genres, including documentary, advertising and portraiture. From the frontlines of northern Israel to the frontlines of Hurricane Rita, to a shoot with the hip-hop music artist Ludicris, the thread through all of his work is the passion for story-telling. Whether in a single picture or through a project spanning months or years, Jensen's driving force is the desire to create narrative and visual discussion. His first book, "The House of Grace: A Girl's World," about child prostitution in Thailand, is now in its second printing, and Jensen is proud to report that the proceeds of this book helped build a second shelter for rescued girls.
We catch up with Jensen in our studios here at Talking Portraits Productions in Austin, Texas.

Chris MacDonald: LibSynPro, an Enterprise Podcasting Solution
Author: Tom Parishtom.parish@gmail.com (Tom Parish)
Sun, Sep 10, 2006
Now and again I get an opportunity to have a "birds of a feather" discussion with another podcaster. I'm speaking with Chris MacDonald today who has the following leading edge credits to his name:
- EVP Business Development and Operations, Liberated Syndication (Libsyn)
- President, Loud Results, parent company of IndieFeed Networks
- Co-Founder and General Counsel, Association of Music Podcasting
This guy is a trailblazer - and I can identify with that ...
So why am I speaking with him? Two reasons. The clients that I work with are seeing tremendous growth in their podcast shows, which is putting a strain on the current way the mp3 files are being served up to the Internet. There is no room to scale and NOW we're seeing acceleration in growth. This btw is also happening here at Talking Portraits.
Instead of buying more hardware and bandwidth I recently recommended a service I've used in the past called Libysn. It's the ideal way for a podcaster to start and now there is a path to grow big, REALLY BIG.
I found out there is a LibsynPro version and that is exactly what I wanted because my client wants an enterprise solution. The newly released LibsynPro service looked so promising I figured I would just get on the phone and learn more about it. The person I've been working with is Chris MacDonald and HE is a podcaster - big time. I like that - he's knows the business.
Chris MacDonald has been deep in podcasting since releasing IndieFeed Networks in September 2004. A former rich media email and streaming media executive, toady Chris' IndieFeed project boasts the highest collective download rate for music podcasts, with 750,000 unique downloads per month, and consistent rankings on the iTunes top 100 list.
At Loud Results, Chris has advised corporate business executives, Washington-based politicians, and PR firms on effective ways to harness podcasting as a mix within communication initiatives. I don't get a chance to meet someone too often that does exactly what I do - so this was a real treat.
Chris recently joined the management team at Libsyn to help the premier podcast host and solutions provider become even more successful, with a focused emphasis toward new user services and enterprise solutions. He helped launch and runs Libsyn Professional Services at www.libsynpro.com
Let's talk with Chris now!

Music of the Spheres Chimes - Remembering Sharon Rose Parish
Author: Tom Parishtom.parish@gmail.com (Tom Parish)
Mon, Aug 14, 2006
This is a Tribute to my wife, Sharon Rose Parish, with special thanks to Sara Eskew, owner of Music of the Spheres Inc., and to 3 special women from Houston who gave me a gift that lives on ....
This podcast is unusual in that it's as much to be felt as heard. Many of you know that my beloved wife, Sharon, died suddenly on May 31. The large chimes you'll hear and feel were a gift from Jeanenne Tucker, Jane Lawson and Lavita Marks, who came from Houston to attend Sharon's memorial service. The chimes hang on my patio and when the breezes nudge them, it's as though Sharon is talking to me.
We're going to start by listening to Sharon on a conference call she held this year for the Way of a Warrior course for the More To Life Program. I want to add that for those of you close to Sharon, this is not going to be easy to listen to. I found myself in tears as I re-experienced the quality of her voice speaking about life, and heard the beautiful way she brings herself forward to everyone on the call - and to us right here, right now.
The chimes are another way I hear Sharon. They're very personal for me, but there is something else about them -- their presence--they way they speak--their effect on friends who hear them--you know, the mind-body-spirit connection.
I wanted to know more about these amazing chimes, so I went to the source (well, the people who made them, anyway). They're exquisitely handmade by a company here in Austin called Music of the Spheres. I met its co-founder, Sara Eskew, at their warehouse. The other co-founder was Larry Roark, Sara's husband who, it turns out, also died suddenly and unexpectedly, like Sharon. These special chimes help me remember the grace and beauty of my wife, who gave me and so many others around the world so many gifts.
Sara took me on a bit of a musical mystery tour, which I would like to share with you.
So take a few deep breaths, sit back and relax and let this podcast in ...

Maria Trombly in Shanghai: Living and Doing Business in China
Author: Tom Parishtom.parish@gmail.com (Tom Parish)
Wed, Aug 9, 2006
Today I am having a conversation with Maria Trombly. Maria is an award-winning journalist and is currently the Asian Bureau chief and global technology correspondent for Security Industry News. She has quite an exciting background--born in the former Soviet Union, raised and educated in America, served as a war correspondent in Chechnya, then returned to the US to cover another type of revolution: how the Internet is changing the way the world works.
In 2004 Maria moved her family to China, and she is now based in Shanghai, reporting on tech issues and China's evolving securities markets.
Here's what fascinates me: What is it like---really--to be a Westerner living and working in a country the size of China? Incidentally, China is the 4th-largest country in the world, is the size of the US and has a population of 1.3 billion--and they are just now coming online and growing as fast as Silicon Valley grew in the '90s.
China is the biggest news story of our time and it is attracting entrepreneurs, visionaries and investors of all stripes--Maria is in the middle of it all.
This is the first of what I hope will be several conversations with Maria about what it's like to be an American journalist, a Western woman working and living in a rapidly growing China rich with opportunities and challenges. What are the myths and the realities? The food, the taxis, the language, the business customs? Be prepared to be surprised and inspired.

Bill Boothe: Building Conscious Lives and Environments
Author: Tom Parishtom.parish@gmail.com (Tom Parish)
Mon, Jul 31, 2006
I'm having a conversation with Bill Boothe, a city project planner and skilled facilitator. This isn't really so much about the nuts and bolts of city planning as about people. Do you sometimes get the feeling that, as a human trying to navigate around a city, you're not really the priority? That it's the cars, the buildings and the flow of stuff that counts - not people? Bill Boothe has some insights and answers.
Talking to me today from his high-rise home overlooking the urban community of Houston, Texas, Bill is someone I've been acquainted with for years through our shared interest in an organization whose focus is to help us learn to live a more conscious life - the More To Life Program. Bill and I recently found ourselves deep into the topic of how we live our lives in the spaces created for us. Whether these living and working spaces are consciously or unconsciously created, they affect our behavior. I wanted to know more about this with regards to past, present and future city planning.
Bill is a public and private project planner and skilled facilitator with a diverse background. For 30 years he has been working in architectural design, regional planning, behavioral sciences, and personal and organizational development. He is all about creating conscious environments, and he's an advocate for having a deliberate context for growth--any growth. In this conversation, he takes us on an exploration of how we got where we are--the whole fabric of society, if you will--through the lens of private and public planning of the spaces we live in. And, even more interestingly, the ways in which we are affected by our surroundings and how they guide our behavior and subtly hardwire our choices.
So today Bill and I explore a broad range of public-planning topics and see how they are indeed expressions of our cultural values. He'll take us through examples of urban life in major US cities to see the long-range impact of rapid growth, automobile dependence, and "not in my backyard" thinking. And the dehumanizing effect this has on society--oftentimes leaving us feeling isolated, less secure, and disconnected from our humanness.
So sit back and enjoy this multi-faceted conversation about how we live with our environmental design and material assets--our stuff. Perhaps you will see aspects of yourself in the mirror Bill holds up to our consumer behavior and environmental design. I know I did.

Philip Nicholson on Why Teens Are So Into Social Networks
Author: Tom Parishtom.parish@gmail.com (Tom Parish)
Sun, Jun 18, 2006
Today I interview Philip Nicholson on Teenagers and their use of Social Networking.
Have you ever bought a book or music at Amazon and read the reviews before you bought? Those reviews are user-generated content, meaning you can add your bit in there, too - for free! Do you look at review sites before buying entertainment electronics, or cars? Kinda hard to imagine not having that kind of peer-level review and grassroots feedback on practically anything you buy these days. Users (of all ages) now want to participate in the buying, selling and reviewing of products online. But ... what exactly is going on with our teenagers these days in these social networks that are evolving and growing so rapidly and pervasively?
OK, here is the punchline: Philip is a teenager, and I asked him to help find some answers from his teen friends about Social networking.
Over the last year Philip has been working for me part-time as he completes high school and prepares for college. This very bright, insightful and well-spoken young man asked me if I would assign him a 10-day. real-world project for completion of his high school curriculum. I was delighted he asked and had an idea I hoped he would both enjoy and could dig into. He did just that - big time.
His results were delightfully insightful and in many cases quite thought-provoking. Some of his thoughts are summarized in three blog articles at 4webresults.com/blog.
I think what he as to say is helpful to all of us in grasping various social computing and social networking issues that really should be discussed and fleshed out for all successful websites in the near future. Because these computer-happy teenagers will be young adults very very soon.
So let's have a conversation with Philip now and learn what he learned.

Bob "Dr. Mac" LeVitus: raconteur, wordsmith, consultant and author
Author: Tom Parishtom.parish@gmail.com (Tom Parish)
Fri, May 19, 2006
This is a Talking Portraits show - Episode 41 for May 14 - I'm Tom Parish, your host, and today I'm having a conversation with Bob "Dr. Mac" LeVitus.
One of the fun aspects of Talking Portraits is meeting people and learning about their motivations and why they do what they do, their contributions to others, maybe their legacy in life. Bob "Dr." LeVitus is one of those individuals with a vibrantly visible career path. In his case, it's in writing about and consulting with Apple products ...
He's a computer columnist, Mac geek, and author of 48 books, including Mac OS X Tiger for Dummies, GarageBand for Dummies, and dozens more. And now he's offering consulting services if you need troubleshooting, training, or technical support for your Mac. He has a crew of people that can help you globally 24/7. He affectionately calls it, "Making a mouse call." This makes a lot of sense to me with the proliferation of Apple products in the home offices of solo professionals who work all over the world. When they need help, they need it right away -- and not just for repairs, but for advice on what to buy when upgrading or adding peripherals.
Bob's 'vibe' just sitting here in the studio is one of excitement. When I look around I'm seeing so many people starting to make a shift to Apple. For some of us, like me, it meant taking a hybrid approach - buy a 12" Powerbook and continue using my PC like I do for audio editing right now, and wait until the time is right to change over completely.
Why are people changing? Well, listen to these two recent ads from Apple that are just hilariously accurate. But what about Bob? That's really what the interview is about - Bob "Dr. Mac" LeVitus and how he combined his passion for Macs with his desire to help and created a career that brings joy to others and to himself ...
